I love making bread, especially challah.
i was making a pear challah and I was going to put honey in it then i changed my mind and used some salted caramel instead sauce instead it was lovely. If you don’t have any then try adding 3/4 cup of honey and only add 180ml water.
Recipe
3 and half cups strong white flour
3 eggs
1 sachet of fast action yeast
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp salt
2 pears chopped finely
4 tbsp salted caramel
1/4 cup almonds
250ml water
5 tbsp butter
1 sprig of rosemary finely chopped
in a bowl add the flour salt, sugar, yeast, eggs, rosemary and salted caramel then add the water.
mix for two minutes then add the butter, mix again for a minute then add the pear and almonds and mix for 2 more minutes.
place in an oiled bowl for at least an hour.
Once doubled in size knock out air and cut into three pieces.
Roll out into ropes then plait.
Place on a lined baking tray and leave to rise again for another hour
mix an egg and a tbsp milk and brush on to the bread the sprinkle on some pearl sugar and almonds.
Preheat oven to 180c 350f
bake for 35 to 45 minutes
wait to cool then slice and enjoy.
WHOA. caramel instead of honey in challah??!?!?! this just blew my mind.
YUM! That sounds heavenly!
I have never made great bread – with yours I can almost taste how good it has to be.
Love your pics, so unique.
Hope you are writing that book you should be writing, Self publish even, seriously, Aimee! : – )
WHAT salted caramel instead of honey?!!! echoing what molly said up top, my mind is BLOWN
What a pretty loaf! Love this combination of flavors, it sounds divine 🙂
That looks incredible! The flavours are lovely and the photographs are perfect. Challah has got to be my favourite sweet bread – I can't resist it!
Simply beautiful. xo Catherine
This looks delicious. Love the addition of aromatic rosemary in there too
Whoa! Salted caramel anything has my name all over it!
I have to try this challah, the flavors sound incredible!
great recipe for the challah – will have to try ❤
This turned out delicious. I made mine with 1/2 coconut flour and 1/2 flour and added dates and sunflower seeds I harvested today in place of almonds. The coconut flour made it hard to braid but I also made some pear butter.
that sounds interesting i have not tried it with coconut flour xx
